I'd probably play it on the safe side. I would say it is not likely to cause
a problem, but that little shadow of doubt would be enough for me to find an
alternative. The only real concern you would have would be with the hard
drive. I doubt any floppys would be used. There are a lot of other options
for putting pictures on the case that do not involve any material that might
cause a problem.

Cheers!
